I hope this message finds you well and happy.
Last week’s Thought for the Week was “The Why Behind the What” and by making decisions transparent, leaders bring people along with them, building a stronger, more resilient team dynamic. If you missed it, you can catch up here
This week, I find myself reflecting on gratitude. Just days ago, I lost a dear friend who meant the world to so many of us. He was on the verge of a beautiful new chapter in his life – planning a future with his partner, filled with dreams and promises. Yet, in a moment, that future vanished, leaving us all in shock and sadness. He had a way of bringing joy, laughter, and a calm presence to our lives, and the emptiness left behind is a reminder of how deeply we valued him.
In this time of grief, I can’t help but wonder: how often do we truly express our gratitude and appreciation for those we cherish? We assume they know; we believe there will be time to tell them later, but life has a way of showing us just how fragile and fleeting it can be. We all loved him dearly, but did we tell him often enough? In our group, we shared so much with him – friendship, care for each other, laughter, memories – but did we tell him how much he meant to each of us?
Let this be a reminder to show appreciation to those around us, no matter how close or familiar we are to them. Let us speak our gratitude openly, with sincerity, so that those we love and know, beyond any doubt, just how much they mean to us. Life doesn’t always give us the luxury of “later,” so let us live with hearts that express and cherish the gifts of friendship, love, and shared moments, every single day.
“Let us be grateful to people who make us happy; they are the charming gardeners who make our souls blossom.“
– Marcel Proust –
[Valentin Louis Georges Eugène Marcel Proust was a French novelist, literary critic, and essayist who wrote the monumental novel À la recherche du temps (?In Search of Lost Time)]
Thank you being on this journey with me, I want you to know that I truly appreciate you.
Wishing you a week full of gratitude, friendship, love, laughter and all you cherish.
With warmest wishes,
